Feng Gu also held back her tears, "Sister Nan Feng, I apologize for coming to see you today. I didn't really want to come, but my brother and sister-in-law insisted. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble. Regardless of whether you help me or not today, I won't blame you. I'll marry whoever my father arranged for me."
"Feng Gu, you..." Nan Feng was nearly speechless with exasperation.
"Feng Gu, let me persuade you once more. If you were a penniless girl with absolutely no means, I would certainly help you financially. But think about your current lifestyle. You have a job, you earn a tael of silver every month working here, which gives you a middle-class income in the county town. You're fully capable of leading a good life on your own. Why insist on jumping into the fire?" Nan Feng did her best to persuade her not to accept such so-called filial piety.
